Pikes Peak

In McGregor, Ia there not only is Spook Cave, but there is Pikes Peak State Park. Located at Pikes Peak is an amazing overlook of the Mississippi and Wisconsin Rivers. There is also 13 (+) miles of hiking. You can also stay in the park at the State run campgrounds! People come from all over the state and country for that matter, and end up coming to this area and commenting on the beauty of this place. I am sad that whoever it is that writes about places to visit in this area, omitted Pikes Peak! So, if you are planning a trip to McGregor, don%26#39;t miss the Peak!!!



Pikes Peak


Hi, I%26#39;ve camped at Pike%26#39;s Peak (Iowa) a few times. Great place. It is the first, and less famous Peaks...founded by the same man. The camp was well maintained. The bathrooms were better than most I%26#39;ve seen. Kept very well. Real close to the gambling boat..I don%26#39;t indulge, but the luncheon bar was great. There are many great places in northeastern Iowa.

As a person who lives only about 20 miles from Pikes Peak in Iowa, I will agree that the view is fantastic of the Mississippi river valley. I have lived in this area all my life and we stop at Pikes Peak about once a year just to enjoy the view. It still impresses me.



Northeast Iowa is completely different than the rest of Iowa. It is very hilly and a beautiful area.
